Biography

Glenn Raymond Tipton (born October 25, 1947 in Blackheath, England) is one of the lead guitarists for institution Judas Priest. Previous to Judas Priest, he was in The Flying Hat Band.

Tipton is best known for his complex, sometimes classically influenced solos and his legendary double lead guitar trades with fellow Priest guitarist K.K. Downing. Tipton’s songwriting and technical control have long been hallmarks of the Judas Priest sound.

In 1997 Tipton released his solo album Baptizm Of Fire, featuring a host of well-known musicians including Billy Sheehan, Cozy Powell and Don Airey, among others. Despite being largely ignored by the mainstream music press, it is considered a modern classic by many longtime fans of Priest.

2006 saw the release of Edge of the World featuring Cozy Powell on drums and John Entwistle on bass. The proceeds of said album were donated to the Teenage cancer trust charity.

Glenn Tipton is currently still playing with Judas Priest, who released their last album Nostradamus in June 2008.

    The handsomest and coolest guitarist I know. K.K. is just as cool, but not as handsome :)

    Great guitar player and great melodist. I enjoy his rhytmic riffs and amazing solos (Painkiller, Touch Of Evil and many other). HiltonMetal93, "In my opinion, Glenn is perhaps the most quiet of the band but is certainly the most coolest and most talented guitar player" +100500 Tipton is the greatest guitar player in metal and one of the best guitarists in general. Hail Glenn!

    In my opinion, Glenn is perhaps the most quiet of the band but is certainly the most coolest and most talented guitar player (Not disrespecting KK, because I and all Judas Priest fans agree he is a Guitar Legend as well) . I do think KK's brilliant, but for me, Glenn is the MAIN MAN!!! VOTE GLENN!!! AND PRIEST RULES!!!
